Depicted is the 'Koepoort' ('Cow Gate' in English), situated in the town of Middelburg, Zeeland, The Netherlands.

In the past the old part of Middelburg had 8 of such gates. This 'Koepoort', built in 1735, is the only remaining one.

My entry for the 'Gates' contest.

Edit: referring to Richie comment below, this gate was in the past an integral part of the fortification (inclusive a moat) of the old (mostly medieval) Middelburg.
